## Resource

In this episode, Paul Cheesman from the Global LDHR team shares practical insights on leading virtual teams, including the relational challenges of not "reading the room," building trust across distances, and the importance of over-communication and follow-up. Paul discusses tech and tools (Zoom, Slack, Monday.com), the hybrid mindset of investing in occasional in-person time to build relational equity, and simple habits leaders can use—intentional check-ins, clear systems, adaptability, and extending grace.   Close: Leading Well Across Distance and Cultures Member Care Model
